OK my season has hit a major issue. Had a bike crash, car turning right cut junction, I didn't hit car, but went over the bars, car didn't stop, probably not even aware. Anyway, got off pretty lightly, broken collar and dislocated finger. Why disaster... I am off cycling and swimming for 8 weeks, so will have just over 3 weeks before ultimate tri in June.

Clearly running will be my main training, but difficult to run for hours on end to build stamina. Any suggestions for training plan for next 2 months

That sucks, hope you recover well. PErhaps you can setup a turbo rig which doesn't put as much pressure on your collar bone?

WHS - guess you'll be on the turbo and not much else.

i'd have thought if you set up the bike so you can sit fairly upright then there shouldn't be too much weight on your arms until your collar bone starts healing.

collar bone is the one that typically hits the pro's the most when they fall off and it doesn't seem too long before they're back racing, good luck!

Gym a possibility? I've seen some of those recumbent indoor training bikes, should be near zero push on collar bone but still possible to push quite hard on the legs.

Core strengthening is never a waste of time either, it'll help all disciplines. Must be some exercises that can be done without hitting the upper body too hard.

Damn, bad luck.
As everyone has said, it'll be the bike you can keep up best of all if you put together a good setup.

It obviously depends on how bad the break is, but as a more positive reference point, I broke my collar bone whilst at uni, and played a fully kitted regular league season American Football game 6.5 weeks later.

Swim is mostly technique, and I can normally get back in after a couple of months out of the pool and be not far off where I was before. i.e. still substantially faster than I was when I first started out. You just need to make sure you dont get back to it too quickly and ingrain poor technique as your collar bone isnt properly up to it yet.

I did that with the break above with my golf swing, and in all seriousness, as previously a 4 handicapper, I've never got my swing back and have been stuck with the poor form I introduced in order to swing the club after only a few weeks (although I dont play much golf either now, which doesnt help).

Oh man, heart goes out to you.

A lot of coaches would say your main priority is healing, not training.

Fortunately I've had no first hand experience, but from what I've seen of mates who've broken their collarbones, I don't think running will be a pleasant experience for a while. Even if you strap everything up so that it's not moving around, I would have thought that the impact from running would be painful through the broken collarbone _________________2016: Just riding my bike....

Yes, very much yes. Plus you can nudge the two ends of bone apart so they don't knit together in a straight line, well I did anyway _________________1st place Falcon Lodge 3rd Year 800m; 1st place Santa Run
